Abstract
The efficiency and safety of mineral extraction largely depend on high-quality mine surveying support. In open-pit industrial areas, the surveying service performs a wide range of tasks, including geodetic measurements, monitoring, and documentation management. To address these tasks, it is optimal to use spatial terrain models. This study aimed to analyze the possibilities of applying the SLAM R100 laser scanner in open-pit mining within small nonmetallic quarries, as well as to determine the suitability of the obtained 3D point cloud for solving engineering problems arising in the framework of mine surveying support of mining operations. The research methodology is based on an experimental approach using a real object. For the observations, an operating gabbro quarry was selected. After surveying the area, a scanning route was created along which control points were established. For data comparison, control points with spatial coordinates determined by an electronic total station were used.
